Hello Gerald:I think your observations are well recieved. Perhaps, our strategy should go from the macro to micro within our own community developing ways to see ourselves more clearly and having ongoing dialogue about how “we” as same-gender loving black males perpetuate heterosexism and objectification. Until we see ourselves differently, to change will continue to be a foreboding challenge as we attempt to understand ourselves and our misguided identities in a commercialized and objectified world. Black men from prisons without any income are left on the streets with addictions find solace in their objectified selves. Perhaps, went into prison heterosexuals but left with a different identity and openness to explore opportunities; perhaps, not exploring due to social constructs but now needing to explore due to economics. Our identities are wrapped in a state of confusion from Judeo/Christian misinterpretations to a social construct of manhood that no longer fits our reality or circumstances. Alas, we are at a point of no return and those who have the courage to call it up and ask the right questions to lead us home. Perhaps, not in very structured orientations that has been presented by Eurocentric paradigms but ones that truly blends our understanding and history around sexual orientation.
Hi I have been having a bit of diutlcfify installing Cisco VPN Client (IPsec) 4.8 on my Ubuntu 10.10.I have been trying to follow your instructions given above, but the problem is that my Cisco VPN Client is called ciscovpn_x86_64_48000490_k9.tar.gz and not what is suggested on above in your instructions (vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.02.0030-k9.tar.gz). As a result I have been having difficulties following the instructions from the first stage where you say I should put the following command in the terminal:tar -zxvf vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.02.0030-k9.tar.gzEven when I change this command totar -zxvf ciscovpn_x86_64_48000490_k9.tar.gzI don't get any results. Any thoughts as to how I can go about downloading this? This is really important to me. I can't get remote access to my school if I can't install the Cisco VPN software.Appreciatively.
